Book Review of Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman

Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman

I have read all of Jon Krakauer's books and would have to say this book is my favorite from him. He is writing as journalist, but at the same time he writes about Pat Tillman as if he knew the man. It made me feel like I understood Pat Tillman better than just reading articles about him. I feel like he did some justice for this very private and very extraordinary person. You get a real sense of the tragedy of Pat Tillman dying at such a young age. He seemed to me that he was a very caring, loving and loyal man to his wife, family and close friends. If more 'celebrities' that our children look up to could be like him and for the fact, more everyday people could be more like him, we could have a better world. I highly recommend this book and 'Boots On The Ground By Dusk' by Pat Tillman's mother Mary Tillman.
